Welcome to Year 6!

Welcome Back!

Welcome to all of our new Year 6 pupils! We are looking forward to an Autumn Term packed full of exciting activities and new learning! 

Your staff this year will be:

Home Learning

Home Learning tasks will be set every Friday in maths and English, to be completed by the following Friday. Home Learning tasks should be completed in the designated purple (maths) and orange (English) books. 

On some weeks, children may also be given a 'Big Think' Home Learning task that will be linked to our topic or a current affairs issue. 

There will also be an opportunity for children to complete their Home Learning in school on Monday lunchtime. 

PE

Both our indoor and outdoor PE sessions will be on a Tuesday afternoon. Children should come to school in their PE kits on a Tuesday. If possible, children should not wear earrings on this day. 

Suitable PE kit should comprise:

• A plain t-shirt in the colour of their House (blue, red, green or yellow)
• Black shorts, jogging bottoms or netball-style skirt
• (Optional) Hoodie or jacket on cold days, preferably black
• Trainers for outdoor PE and (optional) pumps for indoor PE

Planners

Year 6 will be given special Planners this year to record their reading and Home Learning, as well as to refer to throughout the day to assist them in their lessons. This will be fantastic preparation for Year 7 and we are really excited about it! 

Children should have their Planner with them every day in school.
